Questions from St Pancras
We are gathering after a service at Lumen United Reformed Church: can you come?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is usually elsewhere. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Which station is closest to St Pancras?
London Kings Cross station, about 0.5 miles north-west of the centre.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes. We fry to order in the van at your venue, and serve straight from the hatch.
Can the van park on grass?
Typically, if it is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
Do you bring everything you need?
The van comes fully equipped to cook. You just need a suitable spot and permission.
Who clears up?
We pack up and leave the pitch tidy when service is finished. Tell us where bins can go for people’s paper and trays.
What about guests who do not eat fish?
There is: sausage and chips or pie and chips. Tell us roughly how many to expect.
What do you need at the house?
Mostly just a good parking spot. Mention power and water and we will confirm the rest.

What else we do in St Pancras
DIY versus a fish and chip van
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
How it works
Expect a friendly, organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, park on the agreed spot, and get on with frying and serving. Sunset in St Pancras drops to about 7:05pm by late September and 3:55pm by December, so think about lighting by the van.
- First, tell us about your party.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- We agree timings, access and the parking spot.
- We cook to order on the day for your guests.
- We serve from the hatch, then leave the pitch tidy.
How to prepare
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
- Make sure the van can get in
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain

Hosting a chip van party in St Pancras

Parks such as Lincoln's Inn Fields usually need permission from the council or landowner for a catering van, so check first. Within reach of St Pancras are historic houses such as Dr Johnson's House (0.9 miles south-east) and Benjamin Franklin House (1.3 miles south). Grand settings like these frequently have strict rules on vehicles and caterers, so for most parties a home or hired hall is simpler.

You will find St Pancras on the A4 and A40, so it is easy for us to reach with the van. We also bring the van to parties in Bloomsbury (1 mile south-west), Kings Cross (1 mile north-west), Holborn (1 mile south-east), Clerkenwell (1 mile east) and Angel (1 mile north-east).

- A spot near your guests
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Lighting nearby for evening events
